sao paulo 14-16.. videos coming soon.

Hey All,

It’s hard to believe its already sunday.. i have some time here to update because this is the first time the weather has been shit.  i am currently in salvador, writing in the lobby downstairs at the lovely hostel albergue porto salvador.

some highlights, briefly - 

got into sao paulo on wednesday morning, and had a public transportation adventure from the airport to downtown sao paulo – 2 buses and a lot of time on the metro.  the metro is actually nicer than most ive seen in both europe and the us.  I stopped off at what was supposed to be a history of brazilian immigration museum – it was basically set up for little kids groups – there were about 40 lfie size dolls of peoples of different colors, for example.  i quickly left.

The hostel in sao paulo, casa club, pronounced “caza clubee” was a great hostel – the staff even gave me a tutorial on how to make azai (one of the traditional brazilian fruit drinks or “secos”)! thanks to my friend carolina, i met up with this brazilian friend Eric in sao paulo.  he ended up taking me and a few people from the hostel to a sweet bar somewhere in the middle of a nice area of sao paulo – i have no idea where, the city is so big and we took so many turns – drank “chopp” or brazilian draft beer, ate sausage, and watched the sao paulo vs. fluminense (rios team) soccer match.  after we encountered a bunch of hot doctors and went to a club, where i proceded to make a fool of myself dancing pagode and samba – for the samba i was told i was dancing like the girl part.  o well.  i guess im not the dancer i thought i was.  

generally, if you are thinking about heading to sao paulo, i would suggest against it, unless you know various people.  there really isnt anything to do except party at night.  unless you really enjoy looking at banks or antennas, which sao paulo has a ton of!!
